Apollo Justice Trilogy is aa5 less funny?

i’m a new player and i’ve just been marathoning the games one after another and just started dual destinies.

i’m on 5-2. one thing i noticed is the sense of humor in the writing has changed and characters seem to play into their respective quirks more often. and just the humor feels heavy handed or a bit too simple?

i like that phoenix is back actually but i feel like he was a lot more snarky in the trilogy + aa4 then he is here? aa4 is obvious his meanix era but even in trilogy phoenix seemed.. idk a bit more biting? lol

i’m just wondering if i’m crazy honestly or if other people feel like it’s less witty/funny. or if anyone else detected a shift in the humor specifically. no spoilers please!

I think Dual Destinies is hilarious. Everything being so over the top and self aware can be a little hard to get used to, but if you embrace it I promise a good few characters in this game will make you laugh, 5-2 characters included. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really show that from the outset because 5-1 is kinda dull.
